From ]
[ You Never Want a Heated Argument Over Something
That Is So Dumb ]
[ Your Friend Doesn’t Disown You Because Of Who You
Date ]
[ If They Think That You Are Headed For A Fall ]

Mess ]

[ I Guess I Can’t Be Mad ]
[ Ash Is Leaving ]
[ & That Makes The Future Look Really Sad ]
[ Ash Was A Really Hard Nut To Crack ]
[ She Hasn’t Even Left ]
[ & I Already Wish That She’d Come Back ]
[ She Is 5 Feet 11, Of Pure Attitude ]
[ I Don’t Think That I Could Show Her Enough Gratitude ]
[ For All Of Those Times That She Was So Nice ]
[ Well I Think … ]
[ That It Was, @ Least Twice ]
[ When She Is Here, She Is Nothing But Fun ]
[ But I Have To Accept Reality ]
[ In Two Weeks From Today, Her Time Will Be Done ]
[ Every Night That She Leaves Through Our Door ]
[ Always Makes Me To Want For Her To Come Back
For More ]
[ I Have Never Had A Bad Night When She Has Been Here ]
[ When I Know That She Is Coming ]
[ I Let Out A Quiet Cheer ]
[ She Is A Challenge To Banter With, Back & Forth ]
[ In Two Weeks She Will No Longer Be Driving Down
From The North ]
[ I Have Never Looked @ Ash As A Younger Woman
While She Has Been Here ]
[ I Have Tried To Treat Her, As A Peer ]
[ I Know That Ash Will Go Far In Life ]
[ & I Think I Can Say That She Is Loved By Me & My Wife ]
[ Me Saying That I’ll Miss Her Is The Biggest Understatement
I Could Say Of All Time ]
